Abstract
An inbred corn line, designated SSH88, the plants and seeds of the inbred corn line SSH88, methods for producing a corn plant, either inbred or hybrid, produced by crossing the inbred corn line SSH88 with itself or with another corn plant, and hybrid corn seeds and plants produced by crossing the inbred line SSH88 with another corn line or plant and to methods for producing a corn plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic corn plants produced by that method. This invention also relates to inbred corn lines derived from inbred corn line SSH88, to methods for producing other inbred corn lines derived from inbred corn line SSH88 and to the inbred corn lines derived by the use of those methods.
Claims25
Seed of corn inbred line designated SSH88, or a part thereof, representative seed of the line having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-10339.
A method for producing a corn plant, comprising:
- (a) crossing inbred corn plant SSH88, representative seed of the line having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-10339, with another different corn plant to yield progeny corn seed.
A method of introducing a desired trait into corn inbred line SSH88 comprising:
- (a) crossing SSH88 plants with plants of another corn line that comprise a desired trait to produce F1 progeny plants;
- (b) selecting F1 progeny plants that have the desired trait;
- (c) crossing selected progeny plants with SSH88 plants to produce backcross progeny plants;
- (d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that comprise the desired trait and physiological and morphological characteristics of corn inbred line SSH88;
- and
- (e) performing steps (c) and (d) one or more times in succession to produce the selected or higher backcross progeny plants that comprise the desired trait and all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of corn inbred line SSH88 listed in Table 1 as determined at the 5% significance level when grown in the same environmental conditions.
